A flat piece of glass covers the top of a vertical cylinder that is completely filled with water. If a ray of light traveling in the glass is incident on the interface with the water at an angle of θa = 36.2°, the ray refracted into the water makes an angle of 49.8o with the normal to the interface. What is the smallest value of the incident angle ua for which none of the ray refracts into the water?
A piece of glass (n=1.50) is submerged under water (n=1.33). A ray of light starts in the glass and hitsthe surface between the glass and water at an angle 23° from the normal to the surface (while still inthe glass). What is the angle between the light path and the normal when the ray enters the water?

An object is placed 9.00 cm in front of the cornea. (The cornea is thin ans has approximately parallel sides so that the reflection that occurs as light travels from air to cornea to aqueous humor is essentially the same as though the aqueous humor were directly in contact with the air.
